The long-term, binding offtake agreement has been signed for renewable ammonia produced at AM Green’s under-development facility in Kakinada, India. 500,000 tons per year of RFNBO-certified ammonia will be shipped to Europe as early as 2028. The agreement has been in the works since 2023.
Two Namibia-based renewable ammonia projects – Hyphen Hydrogen Energy and Zhero Molecules Walvis Bay – have received development funding from the African Development Bank and the SDG Namibia One Fund, respectively.
Mitsui & Co. and JERA announced that they have been awarded CfD funds by the Japanese government to support the import of CCS-based ammonia from the Blue Point project in Louisiana, USA. By 2030 (2029 in JERA’s case), full supply chains will be established to import the ammonia into Japan, for use in the power generation, cement manufacturing, and other industrial sectors.
Despite the successes and progress made in 2025, the year remains a missed opportunity for ammonia energy. The first complete supply chains for renewable ammonia are emerging, and some 600,000 tons of annual production capacity is set to be online in northeast China early next year. Maritime engines, cracking, and power & heat technology solutions also made their mark, moving from feasibility into deployment. But disappointing outcomes at the IMO and government support that failed to spark market development remains an issue, with plenty of critical, detail-heavy work ahead of us in 2026.
The pair are in advanced negotiations to cement a partnership that will de-risk and progress two key production projects: the Louisiana Clean Energy Complex in the USA, and NEOM in Saudi Arabia.
GreenGo Energy and SELECT Energy have signed a strategic partnership to develop a 4 million tons per year renewable ammonia project near Mauritania’s capital Nouakchott. The Mauritanian government has also reached a framework agreement with German developer Möhring Energie for the development of project NAYRAH, which will produce about 400,000 tons per year of renewable ammonia. This follows the government’s launch of its national “Green Hydrogen Code” in October this year.
One of the key steps in project development remains the selection of the licensor for the renewable ammonia synthesis loop. We explore different technology offerings from leading licensors – including KBR, Topsoe, Thyssenkrupp Uhde, Casale, Stamicarbon, and GoodChina – as well as the growing list of projects where they are being deployed.
The Solar Energy Corporation has completed its first subsidy program for renewable ammonia, awarding the thirteenth and final contract this week. ACME Cleantech won six contracts, totalling 370,000 tons production per year.
